are raising cocoons this year will be. dis

do not learn the difference between dry
and "green" cocoons. A Russian Memo
mite brought some very &c cd ones to the
station to sell, learned that good, dry
cocoons like his were worth about 81 .O5
per pound, but Prof. Homer could
not pay him but 81 cents a pound.
OF course he was surprised, but it was
explained to him that the drying of CO.
coons is not merely the heating suffici-
ent to kill the insect, but process of
many weeks in slowly and thoroughly
drying after sitting. In this process the
cocoons lose two thirds their weight, for
the live worm, or chrysalis, weighs many
times more than it's silk cover. The sta
ton has received considerable quantity
Of coceons from Labette county.

o MARY, QUEEN OF MERGE.
BIZ JAMES CLARENCE MANGEN

There lived a knight long years ago,
Proud, carnal, vain, devotionless;
OF God above, or hell below,
He took no thought, but und smayeds
Pursued his course of wickcdness.
His heart was rock. he never prayed
TO be forgiven for NIL his treasons:
He only said at c rtain seasons,
20 Mary, Queen OF MercyF
Years rolled and found him still the same,
Still draining pleasures poison bowl:
Yet felt he now and then some shame;
The torment of the undying worm
At wifi es woke in his trembling soul:
And then. though powerless to REFORM,
Would he. in hope to appease that sterness
Avenger cry, and more in earnest,
20 Mary, Queen Of Mercy.
At last Youths riotous time was gone,
And Loathing now came after Sin,
With locks yet brown he felt as one
Grown gray ut heart. and oft with tears,
He tried but all in vain, to win
From the dark desert OF his years
One flower OF hope; yet, morn and evening
he still cried, but with deeper meaning.
20 Mary, Queen Of Mercy'
A har,ier mind, O holier mood,
q purer spirit ruled him now;
No more in thrall to flesh and blood,
He took pilgrim staff in hand,
And, under a religious VOW,
Travail'd his way to Pommerland;
There enter'd he an humble cloister.
Enchanting, while his eyes grew moister,
20 Mary, Queen OF MercyT
Herr .horn and cowl'd, he laid his cares
Aside, and wrought for God alone.
Albeit he sang no choral prayers,
Nor matin hymn nor aud could learn,
he mort fed his flesh to stone;
For him no penance was too stern;
And often pravd he on his lonely
Cell-couch at night. but still said only,
% Mary. Queen OF Mercyr
They buried him with mass and song
Aneath q lit lie knoll SO green;
But 10 q wonder-sighti- Ere Icing
Rose, blooming, from that verdant mound
The fairest lily over seen;
And, on its petal-edges round,
Relieving their translucent Wilderness,
Did shine these words, in gold-hued brightness
20 Mary, Queen Of Mercyr
And, would Gods angels give thee power,
Thou, dearest reader, mi ghtest behold
The fibres of this holy flower
Upspringing from the dead mans heart,
In tremulous threads of light and gold;
Then wouldst thou choose the better part
And thenceforth flee Sins foul suggestions,
Thy sole response to knocking questions,
20 Mary. Queen Of MercYP

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION.

What volume printed in the English
language has had the largest circula-
ton next to the Bible? Give it mp?
Well, it is Webster's spelling book.
Something over $4,000. 900 copies OF
this Look have been published since it
was first brought out in Hartford, and
the royalties which old Noah Webster
received on it were sufficient to support
his family handsomely while he was
compiling his big dictionary. It is an
instructive Volume, and we advise
everybody to peruse it, although, a.
somebody said of the dictionary, the
story is somewhat Recommendations
